Letter: Give tax measure a chance to work

If reform fails to meet expectations, further changes can be made.

Editor:

The new tax law can be changed again if it doesn't work, or live on if it does work. America has never had a tax law quite like this one. We will have to judge it on future realities instead of on memories of other reform efforts.

Nothing in the new tax law says that if wealthy companies fail to increase wages they will lose their tax break in the future, but that is what would likely happen. The president should remind them.

"Health law popular in states carried by Trump" (Reading Eagle, Dec. 23) indicated that many voters who oppose the Affordable Care Act still take advantage of what it offers. Soon we will see if voters who oppose the tax cuts will still pay what they think their fair share should be. Voluntary contributions to offset the national debt can be made to the Department of Treasury any time.
